Councilman body

In pathology, a Councilman body, also known as a Councilman hyaline body, is an eosinophilic globule of apoptotic hepatocyte cell fragments (an apoptotic body). Ultimately, the fragments are taken up by macrophages or adjacent parenchymal cells. They are found in the liver of individuals suffering from acute viral hepatitis, yellow fever, and other viral syndromes.
